I am a committed and compassionate Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for walking with individuals as they navigate life's challenges and take steps toward personal growth. My practice specializes in utilizing evidenced-based models of care alongside of creativity and imagination to facilitate healing and growth.
I earned my Master in Social Work from University of North Carolina Charlotte and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of North Carolina with over 7 years of experience. My commitment to ongoing professional development ensures that I stay current with the latest therapeutic techniques, maintain cultural competence and adhere to all ethical standards of practice.
I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each individual, recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to mental health treatment. I focus highly on a trauma-informed model of care and I am committed to a collaborative process, meeting clients where they are on their journey.
I have a background in narrative and creative arts modalities. In our sessions, we Reimagine possibilities, explore new perspectives, and embrace creativity. Together, we Reframe challenges, seeing them through a lens of growth and resilience, and discover meaning in our personal stories. Through this process, we Renew, taking intentional steps toward positive change.
I have worked with clients seeking support for a wide array challenges including anxiety, depression, relationship and/or family issues, trauma, addiction, OCD and other severe mental health concerns. I also have a rich history of collaborating with medical professionals to ensure holistic and integrated care.
Embracing a client-centered approach, I work collaboratively with you to identify strengths, set meaningful goals, and cultivate resilience. I look forward to supporting you as you Reimagine possibilities, Reframe challenges, and Renew your path toward a more fulfilling life!
